When we were in Spanish, a shy girl didn't have a partner for BattleShip, so I was her partner.

When I was in elementary school a group of girls decided to make a club but not everyone was welcome in that club. A friend of mine was hurt because she was told she couldn't be a member of the club. I gathered girls from my grade and told them we should make our own club but that everyone is welcome to join. I walked up to the girls in the other club and told them they were more than welcome to join our new club that never says no to anyone. Last week my middle school math teacher told us to pick a partner for group work in class. My friend that I've known for over four years wanted to be my partner but we have a new girl to our school that only knows my friend that wanted to be my partner. I told my friend that since the new girl only felt comfortable with her that she should be the new girls partner so she doesn't feel left out. Those are two times I remember doing something nice or sticking up for others. I know I'm only eleven years old but there are plenty of times I've stood up for friends that were being treated badly by others. My mom always says treat people the way you want to be treated. Thank you for reading a few of my experiences. Angelina

Hi my name is Natalie Cooper and I am in sixth grade. I'd first of all like to say that you are extremely inspirational to me! So this is my story: I was in a wheelchair for a month and a half back in November to December of 2014 because I slipped on Ice and injured my back. I was admitted into Children's Hospital of Detroit and saw a whole different view of my life. I was acting like the world was over for me, but really, I was fortunate enough to even be able to walk again. And so here's where I decided to take action. I have decided to make 100's of blankets to bring in and give out to all the patients there, I will also say an inspirational speech about my journey though this, and how they can make it through and to just stay strong! I hope you liked my story!!

In math class this week my teacher told us to pick one partner to work on an assignment together. My friend I've known for at least 5 years wanted us to be partners like always. I noticed the new girl looked or felt left out. The new girl only knows my friend out of our math class so I told my friend she should ask the new girl to be her partner so she's not left out and that I would just ask another kid in our class. My mom always tells me to treat people how you want them to treat you and I like people being friendly and kind.

I have a huge love for photography, often times I go to the park to take photos. Once while I was in the park and young girl (about eight) came up to me and asked me about photography. I told her my favorite thing to photograph was nature and then she looked as though she was going to cry. When I asked what was wrong, she told me that her older brother used to love to photograph nature too and she liked talking to different photographers. I then asked why he stopped taking pictures and she explained that he had recently died of cancer. I immediately felt connected to this girl, not only through photography but also through going through cancer. I told her that my younger brother was currently in remission for cancer and I knew exactly what it felt like. She then surprised me by hugging me and saying, " Thank you. Everyone says they know what it feels like, but nobody really does. So thank you for really understanding." I felt like I had helped her by showing her that she wasn't alone and honestly, it helped me too.

Hi! First I would like to say, you are putting together a GREAT project by doing this and you are boosting so many teens confidence❤️ My story is, My bat mitzvah is coming up so I need to do 48 hours of community service. I choose to do it at the Friendship Circle. The friendship circle is a great place that has a nurturing environment for kids with dissiblitys and makes them feel like just a normal kid which, they really are just normal kids. I get paired up with a buddy with dissiblitys and hang out with them once a week. I'm not aloud to share my buddy's information but, I can say that she LOVES to preform, dance, sing, and act! I love the same things... so each week she would want to go into the dance room and I will make up a combination that we do over and over again and again. It makese feel vary good that I'm helping out the community. I did feel like I was just helping them out in the first few weeks but then I found out that I actully made a new friend. I realized that she really is just a normal kid that just thinks differently... She is one of my Best friends and It makes me So happy that she made a new friends and so did I. I hope you enjoyed my random act of enchantment even though it was a little long! Bye😘

Hi Marla! First i would like to say that i had so much fun at our photoshoot! I love the pictures. My story of randomly enchanting someone is this. One of my very close friends was upset. She was so upset that she started to cry. I could tell that something was wrong so I went up to her. I asked her if she was ok. She said no. After she told me what was wrong, I did everything i could to make her feel better, and it worked! After this she felt so much better. I also felt happy because she was happy again. I hope you like my story! Love Jordyn!

When I play games against her I make sure to play easy so that she wins or is close to winning.

Thank you so much for the wonderful opportunity to have a photoshoot with my friends! I had a lot of fun, and I can't wait to see the pictures! I enjoy doing nice things for others because when they are happy, I am happy. One Random Act of Enchantment that I did was collecting bottles and cans to raise money for a children's pediatric cancer charity. I asked my friends and family to help donate recyclables and many of them did! I went to the grocery store many times to return them all and each time received money back. All the money that got collected went to the charity. I am happy to know that I was able to help others who were in need of some ENCHANTING!

Hi, my name is Jane Hooberman and recently, I have been lucky enough to be able to enchant many people's days! Whether I am at school or at home, I always keep doing good things for others on my to-do list. At home, there are sometimes dishes in my sink that just sit there, not yet cleaned. So, one random act that I encountered was cleaning the extra dishes that would otherwise sit in the sink, without anyone telling me to do so! Also, my mom had brought up a couple of baskets of laundry and put them in the hallway. On my own, I decided to be the one to refold the clothing and put my clothes away! In school, a random act that I committed to was helping one of my teachers' stack all of the unstacked chairs in her classroom, without being told to. Another random act that I did recently, was helping out my good friend put food on her plate, since she has a cast on her arm and couldn't serve herself by herself. Lastly, for a recent project, my sister and I collected returnable cans and bottles to raise money for a children's cancer association. In conclusion, all of these random acts of enchantment has turned me into a better person each time, and has made me feel so proud of my accomplishments!

Hi my name is Jenna Silverman and this is my enchanting story. Sorry I think I entered two stories by accident that weren't finished. First of all I want to thank you so much for the photo shoot today that really boosted my self-esteem. It was a lot of fun experiencing this amazing opportunity and I think the best part was just being with all of my good friends. The photos so far have turned out very high quality and beautiful and we will cherish them forever. We will also be able to look back on this memory and remember it forever. So here is my random act of enchantment story. This one girl in my grade that has a disability and has some trouble socially almost always comes to my lunch table which is very full and asks if there is anywhere she can sit. Some people just sit there and kind of nod there heads but don't really say anything. Two of my friends and I always say you can of course pull a chair up and sit right there. This small comment makes her feel welcome and so good. She also says hi to me at lunch and I always say hi back and stop my conversation, return back to it after, and ask her how her lunch is. She sometimes even gives me positive comments like you rock Jenna and I always say you too! She even tells me I'm her best friend sometimes and I tell her that right back. She does this to a couple other of my friends too. She is our friend and we always make her feel welcome and good about herself. Other times she gives me a hug and I give her a hug back. I can tell she likes it when I do that. Another random act of enchantment I did was I wrote #you matter on little cards and gave them to some of my close friends with other words on it too. I thanked them for being such good friends randomly. I know if I got some of these cards which I did from some of my friends it makes me feel good. This is why I chose to do it to other people. I also made one card for all of my close friends so then I wouldn't miss anyone or make them feel left out because I did some cards to people individually. These are only a couple of many random enchantments I chose to do to make people happy. My final enchantment that I'd like to say is I always have a smile on my face and I love to make people laugh and be happy. My personality can cheer all of my friends up when they're down and I'm almost always laughing and whenever I laugh they do too. People always tell my parents and I that my smile lights up the room. That is one of the biggest compliments I could ever get. I am so lucky to have all the great friends I do which most of them participated in the photo shoot today. I would just like to share one quote that has a big impact on my life. "To the world you're one person, but to one person you're the world." I always think of this quote and my random acts of enchantment really relate to it. To the one girl in m grade how much I respect her could mean the world to her. I could brighten her whole day, world, or even her life. I always treat people they way I would want them to treat me. I love making new friends and creating more and more strong friendships and I never leave anyone out. Thanks so much again Marla this photo shoot today really made a big impact on me. Love, Jenna

I thought that this wasn't right, so I stood u and started hanging out with her. Instantly, we became best friends and hung out all the time. There was still one problem, and that was not having that many friends. She had one good one, and that was me. I believed that she needed more, so she started sitting with my friends and I at lunch. Soon after that, she had a bunch of brand new friends that she could rely on. I didn't just make her feel amazing, but I felt great because I knew that I had just helped make someones life better.

When I was at school on Friday, a group of 8th graders were standing in the lobby waiting to go in or school. I'm a seventh grader and I usually don't stand up for anyone that's older than me but, this time I had to help. An with grade boy with disabilities was getting teased by the eight grade group of boys. They were pretending to be his friend and they were all laughing when the boy with disabilities smiled at them and played along with their act. I felt so bad for the boy because he didn't know what was going on. He thought they were his friends. I walked over, took my headphones out of my ears, and stood up for the boy. I told the eight graders and told them to leave him alone because everyone deserves to have good friends and they were definitely not good friends. They weren't even friends. That's my story of enchantment.

I always love to help out and randomly enchant everywhere! Whether it's at school, at home, at extracurricular activities, or even online. Here are some ways I have helped out my community! First let's start at school. My main focus is to make sure everyone feels included. At lunch, if my friends can't fit in at our table, I will move somewhere else with them. If someone needs to be in a group, I will encourage them to join us, and when we have free time I hang out with a variety of people, especially those who are alone. Also, when my friends need help with the subjects we are working on or understanding the homework, I am always there! Next is at home, I help my brother with his homework and help my cousins learn and critique their performances for them to improve. Third is extracurriculars. At my Hebrew school, I volunteer to lead a Zimriah youth choir every week, to prepare for our performance, and I love seeing the kids having so much fun with it. At my school's Jazz program, I volunteer to be the piano player, and take time out to improve their sound. At my Hebrew tutoring, I make sure to be especially attentive so my teacher is proud, and she said I was one of the bestest students she has had and set the record for fastest time learning my Haftarah! At my piano lessons, when I'm free, I sign up to perform so people get to hear the music they love. I participate in musicals not only because I like to, but because I love entertaining people and putting smiles on their faces. Lastly would be online. First of all, I love to comment on people I know's photoa on Instagram to make them feel good about themselves and because, well, all my friends are gorgeous!! Also the big part is today, there was a girl who I don't really know, but follow her on Instagram. She is going through a very tough time in her life, and receiving many death threats and is constantly crying because she is so hated, and she barely did anything. I decided to take action and send her a long note describing why she needs to stay strong, and how it wasn't her fault, so she can't let the people being her down. I hope she receives my message and will take my advice, because she seems like a lovely person! In conclusion, I love to randomly enchant and I hope my group wins a photo session with you because you are so inspiring and the spark of our random acts of enchantment!

There was this fight going on with three girls and one of them is pretty close to me. The girl who is pretty close to me came to me for help because her other two friends weren't talking to her and teaming up agaisnt her. Now, I had been in the same situation with one of the girls, so i really wanted to help because it was not fun being the victim. So i told her every thing i knew that she could do without being rude or mean back to them and soon enough they are friends again. I hate bullying I absolutely hate it, especially if it evolves my friends. I can't just brush it off and want to help and make another person feel better.

In addition to collecting the returnable cans and bottles (I shared that story with you already), I also comforted my friend when she was upset.

I hope that I can see you again soon!!!!! Love, Marlee

Hi, my name is Mari Lynn and I'm in 7th grade. First off, thanks so much for the amazing photography session. I had so much fun with all of my friends and thanks for battling the cold weather for us. My first random act of enchantment was helping my mom. My mom taught CPR today and had to drive my brother to soccer, this left her with no time to put away her CPR dummies. So, I carried down her CPR dummies to the basement and put them away. Another time I helped enchant someone's day was when I made blankets with a couple of my friends for project night night. These blankets go to homeless children, making blankets for them made my day! During the summer, I help enchant little kids' days by volunteering at their preschool summer camp. I love going back every year and seeing the same kids and new ones too! Being an enchanted tween to me, is one of the best feelings in the world. When I make others happy, I know I'm going on the right path in life. Thanks for inspiring me!

I was about to ask my friend but then I saw one of my classmates not have a partner, I went to ask him if he wanted to be my partner he said he would be happy to. When we finished we went back to the classroom and became really good friends.

One time in gym class we had to go in groups of 3 and I was in a group that I wanted to be in but another group only had 2 people. I was in a debate in my head if I should go to the other group or stay in my group that I wanted to be in. I hesitated but then I came to a agreement with my self I was going to the other group. I walk there and I felt so joyful because I make the right choice and even though switching a group in gym class might not be the biggest kind thing that I will accomplish in life it taught me to go the right way even if it's not my way. And that's a life lesson that I will always remember. Thanks for reading.

Me and a group of friends felt bad that the custodian had to clean up after everyone so we made him a card. After we gave him a card he seemed so happy but it didn't seem like enough, so we had the big idea of getting on our hands and knees to clean up the mess under the table so we did and when we did Mr.Josh (the custodian) stood there smiling and that is how we know he was happy. After we did that my class and I decided that we would do it every day so Mr.Josh felt good and to encourage other classes to do it too!!

Story: today I noticed my friend was hurt so I asked him " whats wrong and what happened "? My friend said "I'm okay." And he was happy now because I said that . I was happy to because I knew my friend was okay.

Story: In my orchestra the bass player is different than most people and gets really nervous when he plays something wrong and I try to go up to him when he doesn't like how he played and say "good job!" or "you did really good today!" because that is the truth he is really good.

Story: At my church there was a new girl in my grade and everyone was talking about her saying "why is she wearing so much makeup?" "why is she here she's in like 11th grade?" and a lot of hurtful things. I walked up to her and asked things about her and introduced myself. Now, were best friends and I am so glad that I was the one to make her feel welcomed.

I enchanted someone and it makes me feel good! there is this new girl who came to my school about a few weeks ago and she is in my gym class, she just moved here and didn't know anybody and I felt bad for her, so I introduced myself to her and we have talked and became great friends! we sit together at lunch and are partners In gym, I always make sure to play easy against her, it makes me feel good that i did that, thank you for what your putting together it is beyond great!! thanks again!!!❤️

Hi... I ❤️all of your pictures. My story is… one day at school all of my best friends were going out to recess. Our classroom is near a special needs class and we can go help them during recess. I noticed a boy was having a bad day. Of course I would've wanted to go outside but instead I stayed in and helped the boy. He was really happy that I came and stayed with him. That's my story.

Story: Today I randomly enchanted someone in science class. we got to chose where we sat and while I was working I noticed a girl sitting at a table alone. I went over to her and asked if she would like to come sit with my friends and I. Even though she didn't want to sit with us it made me feel good that I invited her.

Last year (I was in fifth grade) this boy in first grade had broken his leg and he was in a wheelchair. My teacher told me that she wanted me and another girl to walk him to lunch everyday until he was out of his wheelchair. we also had to stay with him at recess until he was out of his chair. ever since then he had always said hi to me in the hallways!

Hi, my name is Julia. In my gym class there aren't a lot of people. But there is always this boy who has nobody to play with. Sometimes when he is talking, everybody ignores him. In fact, today we were playing basketball, we were making free throws and he asked if he could try, the boys in my class said no. Then the boy said: "Why not? Is it because I suck?" then the boys started to laugh at him. I felt really bad for him, so from this day on, when we play a game in gym I'll be his partner, or ill pass the ball with him. Me and my friends also let him sit by us at lunch. I hope he understands that I care about him and I hope everybody will realize they should respect them too. I know this isn't the biggest nicest thing somebody has ever done, I just think its important. Who ever is reading this, I encourage you to randomly enchant somebody too, it makes you feel like such a better person!

Hi, my name is Mari Lynn and I'm in 7th grade. First off, thanks so much for the amazing photography session. I had so much fun with all of my friends and thanks for battling the cold weather for us. My first random act of enchantment was helping my mom. My mom taught CPR today and had to drive my brother to soccer, this left her with no time to put away her CPR dummies. So, I carried down her CPR dummies to the basement and put them away. Another time I helped enchant someone's day was when I made blankets with a couple of my friends for project night night. These blankets go to homeless children, making blankets for them made my day! During the summer, I help enchant little kids' days by volunteering at their preschool summer camp. I love going back every year and seeing the same kids and new ones too! Being an enchanted tween to me, is one of the best feelings in the world. When I make others happy, I know I'm going on the right path in life. Thanks for inspiring me!

One of my friends lost their rings at dance and she was very worried about it. I told her that we wouldn't leave without them, but we had to look after class. When class was finally over, we began to look right away. I know that when I need help with something, it's not fun you try to do it alone. By helping my friend, I felt great and I know she did too😊.

When my best friend was getting bullied at school I made her feel better when I helped say encouraging words. Doing little things for her made her feel great and knowI know everything is back to normal.

At school I participate in a group I got picked for called circle of friends. That is where kids with a disability eat lunch with other kids. It is a very fun experience because I get to bond with other kids. It probably makes them feel good because they get to talk with other people.

There a a super nice girl at my school who is autistic. She is very sweet and funny, although sometimes she says things that aren't true or nice. One day after my A2 class some boys were saying "oh my gosh did you hear her? She was so lying and she wears the same clothes every day," I could tell that she overheard the boys, and I felt really bad. I wasn't sure if she was telling the truth about what she said in class, but I wouldn't want her to bs sad. I pulled her aside and I said "don't listen to them. They don't know what they are talking about. I belive you, and I think you are so nice and pretty!" (She totally is!) I could tell that she felt so much better!! I was super proud of myself and I was glad that she was happy. After saying that I became friends with her, we always talk in the hallways. I know she feels like she had a good friend in me. I didn't put my adress in the box because I didn't know if it was nessary right now. Thanks for your inspiration to be kind!! And for giving me the possibility to win a solo photo shoot, how fun!!❤️

Hi I would first like to say that your doing such an amazing thing and thank you for all the opportunitys. I have a few story's on how I enchanted people. every year at my shuk they house homeless people so I go every year and make lunches for then and take makes me feel great because I'm giving back. And there is a girl in my grade that came to start school at my school on Monday and I have been trying to keep her comftrobole and help her with anything she needs. I really love what your doing and can't wait for my Photoshoot with you

There was a new girl at my school this year and she didn't have a lot of friends yet so I invited her to come sit with me and my friends at lunch. I also introduced her to a lot of my friends and now she has a lot of friends. I talk to her at school everyday and we sit next to each other in math.

hi, i'm Dani Gingras, a 7th grader at Clifford Smart Middle School. What you are doing is amazing and I hope this will influence more peoole to share their acts of enchantment! There is this girl in my gym class and she has just moved here, I felt bad for her because she was new to the area and didn't know many people so I introduced myself and we have became great friends and are also partners in gym and sit together at lunch and I'm glad that we are friends, it makes me feel good that were friends but I hope it makes her happy too! thank you!

Hi my name is brooke lewis and this is my ramdom act of kindness! First, you are so inspirational to many kids and I was so happy to have a photoshoot with you! I think this is great what you are doing and causing a great positive change! This is my story... I have a cousin with asburgers and she is the sweetest girl ever! when people are mean to her it makes me so upset because she is so sweet. One day I went to gymnastics with her and she went up to this group of girls and asked what they were doing and if she could play and they laughed and said no. It really hurt me and so me and my other cousin said to them she is so sweet and she just asked a question. It made me feel good because I made her feel better and I love her! Also, I go every other friday to this thing at my school called curcle of friends, and I and a couple other firks have lunch with the kids with disabilities. It always makes them so happy to have such good friends and we all have so much fun! Ive created so many special relationship with all them. I love making people happy and everyone feel good about themselves. When someones not happy im not happy. hope you enjoyed my story! from brooke lewis-brookiewookiecookie❤️

One time at lunch there was a boy with a little special needs who was sitting by him self. Some of my friends were stitting at a different table, they called me over. I said maybe later and I sat down with that boy. We talked and then lunch was over. It made me feel good to see this boy smiling and laughing.

Hi! My name is Rachel Lybeck. I am a seventh grader at West Hills. I was driving home today from dance and saw a homeless teen with a dog. The girl was small and the dog was very thin and tiny. We were at a red light when we rolled the window down and said we would come back with money for her and some food for her dog. We came back to where she was and gave her money for food or whatever she needed it for and brought the dog food. She graciously thanked us and we told her we thought nothing of it because it was the right thing to do.

Yesterday I was at soccer tryouts and I fell and twisted my ankle. Today I came to school and everyone was helping me out with my bag and my stuff. They also were asking if I was ok and if I needed anything that they could always help. I thought this was so enchanting of them because they didnt have to care about what happened but they did!

Once I saw this girl sitting alone and I went up to her and stated taking to Her And it turned out that we were friends in pre- school and lost touch and since that day we talk all the time and we are great friends (Friends reunited)

I think what you have started is amazing. I've been hit and made to feel left out in elementary school before just because I didn't root for the same baseball team as others in my class before. My story of enchanting someone is a few weeks ago my math teacher told us to pick partners for an assignment in class and a friend of mine that I've known for at least 4 years wanted to work with me. She is one of my closest friends in that class. We have a new student in our school and in my math class. I looked over at her and could tell she looked left out and sad. I told my friend that I think she should ask the new girl to be her partner since the new girl only knew my friend the most out of our class and felt most comfortable with her. I told my friend I'd be fine and would just ask whoever else was left without a partner. My mom always says treat others the way you want to be treated and I always do my best to always be nice.

At lunch, a girl was sitting by herself at a lunch table. I had only talked to her a couple times in my first hour so I didn't really know her. She looked uncomfortable so I went over to her and asked if she had saved a seat for someone. She shook her head no so I sat with her for the first couple days of school. We became closer and closer and now she is one of my really good friends💗

Hi, my name is Alyson and I'm 10 years old. There is an Autistic boy in my class and I feel like he sometimes feels left out and lonely. To help him feel included I will ask him about his night and ask if he would like to eat lunch with me. And if I see him alone at recess I will ask him if he wants to play. He is a very nice friend! Every school has a few mean kids and my school is no different. When I see those boys laughing at him because he is different that's where I draw the line. I go up to those boys and tell them to stop being mean and tell them to try being nice once in a while and they might feel better. Randomly enchanting someone makes you feel good and if you haven't tried it, you should, because it will make you feel better.

Hi, Marla! First of all, I would like to thank you for the amazing thing you are doing for tweens. I have many little stories that I am going to squish into one. First of all, on the first day of school there was this new kid sitting next to me in choir. He came from China that August and nobody knew him. I decided to befriend him and we are still so close. I introduced him to all of my friends and now the whole grade loves him and he has so many friends. Next, there is this boy in my grade that was also new. He was on crutches and I saw him struggling to go downstairs to the gym. He obviously did not know about the handi-capped elevator, so I told him about it and even though I was scared because it was shaky and scary, I took him on it and now he takes the elevator and doesn't have to risk hurting himself down the stairs. Lastly, every other Friday I go with a group of girls to sit with the special needs kids in a separate room at lunch. They don't always come to the cafeteria, so I think it makes them happy to know that we skip our lunches to sit with them. In general, I am such good friends with the special needs kids and I love hanging out with them. We unfortunately do not have recess anymore, but last year I played with them everyday at recess. Once again, thank you for encouraging this positive message throught us tweens.

When I was younger, I used to be nervous and scared around special needs people. In fourth grade, I met some special needs kids. I was a little scared at first, but they turned out to be the nicest, funniest girls. I played with them every single day a recess and they were truly so happy to be around. I was invited by the teachers in A.R.P. to join a club called Circle of Friends. Even though we would sit with the special needs kids everyday in the cafeteria if we could, sometimes they aren't able to come to the cafeteria. Every other week, we skipped our normal lunch to sit with them. I am still in this club to this day, and I think it makes them feel happy and reminds them that they have friends that are there for them. Now, I am always so happy to play with them. They are always a joy to be around, and I love spending time with them.

Last night at Seder, there was a little five year old boy. I didn't know him, but I searched for the aficomen with him. He was really into finding it and when I spotted it, I pretended not to and gave him a clue. When he saw it I told him how good he did and told everyone he found it. I always wanted to find it when I was little, so making him feel like he found it made me feel very good.

When I was walking into the bathroom at school, a girl behind me was carrying a lot if books so I held the door open for her and let her go before me. I was just in NYC and saw a homeless person sitting on the street. I gave him money and he smiled at me, as if he was thanking me.

Hi I'm Shay , I am in a schools group called Updtaners , where we go one day per month we go to a building right across from our school and go to learn how to stop bullying and if/ when bullying happens we know how to handle the situation. i think this helps not only me but a lot of other kids stand up not only for themselves but for others as well. It shows Stand up for bullying stand up for what you believe in.

My random acts of kindness is when I was in Aspen Colorado Yesterday, a little girl dropped her glove and couldn't get up the hill with her ski's so I unbinded my snowboard and walked up the hill to go grab it for her.

When I was having dinner with my family at A restaurant, I was in the bathroom about to leave and an elderly woman came in with her walker. She had trouble opening the door since it was heavy so I opened the door for her. After that, I held the bathroom stall door open for her. I held onto her walker so when she came out of the stall she could grab onto it easily. I know this next thing sounds gross, but after she came out, I flushed the toilet for her since she couldn't bend down low enough. I felt really good because she said to me afterwards that I have a blessed soul and that she hopes I love a long and happy life. I thanked her for that. But I feel really bad still because I didn't hold the heavy door for her so she could get out because I had to leave. I wish she knew that I feel bad to this day that I didn't help her out the bathroom.

This was at my old school. There was a kid getting bullied. She was almost always alone. When I past her in the hallway I took some glances at her and she always looked sad. My friends didn't like her but I didn't really know who she was so I couldn't hate her. But since everybody else hated her I didn't have the bravery to go up to her. I was afraid that I would be bullied. Now I think back in my new school I really regret not helping her out. If I helped her and told my friends maybe she could stop being bullied. She got bullied by almost everyone. Now if I see someone getting bullied I want to help them.

This spring break my brother was being cranky and mean. I knew my parents were stressed so I didn't fight with him and I was being extra careful to not get on his bad side. It was hard for me but I mostly did what he wanted and when we were playing basketball I would pas to him. when he got mean I left him alone so we did not get in a fight. After he wasn't mean and cranky any more I felt good that I was being a good big sister.

When I was on spring break, I went to Florida. I was swimming in the pool and I saw this kid who was looking lonely and bored. I went over to see if he wanted to play. At first I was nervous because I didn't know how he was going to react. I said, "Hi!". He was quiet for a little bit and then he said, "Hi!" back! I felt really good and relieved to know that I had a new friend. About an hour after that, some other kids joined and we had a whole big game. Whenever I got to a hotel, I always feel bad for housekeeping. So when I was at our hotel, I thought more and more about what I could do. So I tried to keep the house as clean as I could and whenever I passed someone who had a tray or the cart full of paper towels and toilet paper, I always say, "Thank you!". I felt really good and happy that I knew that I made someone else happy too.

Today me and my friend Tatyanna made a card for a kindergartener named Lily and we aked our teacher if we could go to her class and give it to her and she said yes. So we went to the classroom and told the teacher what we are doing and she said ok. So we put the card next to Lily and she got it and opend the card and the teacher read it to her because she cant read yet. So then we were about to leave when Lily stoped me and Tatyanna and then gave us a really big hug and we hade it to me and her fav color PINK!!!!!!!

I did a fundraiser for kids in a hospital so they can have a room designed for them. Because living in a plain white hospital room for a long long time is really depressing!!! I want to help them. We raised over $600! I Helped them and am really proud of them!😃 I hope I get a chance to do one of your amazing photoshoots! I L😍VE he pictures of the photoshoots I have seen of your IG. This is such a great opportunity thank you so much!!!

Hi my name is Leah and here is my story, so everyday in gym we have to run for a matter of minutes and it's usually like 3 to 4 minutes, this kid who I always run with has asthma and can not usually run the full 3 to 4 minutes so I always say to him it's ok, you can do this, keep running and he always listens to me and pushes through it.

There is a special needs girl in my drama class. Whenever we do small group plays, me and my group always try to include her. I also try to help her in memorizing her line and making sure she speaks loud. Randa Hakim from West Hills Middle School

Today in sewing class, my teacher asked the class if anyone could write a thank you card for the assistant teacher who had helped kids when they needed help. Since no one volunteered, I decided to take action and raise my hand so I could write the thank you card. The teacher thanked me, and when I went home I spent 3 hours working on the card until it looked perfect, because I knew the assistant teacher had helped me a lot and deserved appreciation. Also, not only did I do that, but a friend of mine is going through a tough time with her friends at school, so I direct message her frequently asking her how she's doing, and we always talk until either one of us falls asleep. Not only does it make her happy that she has a good friend to rely on, but it makes me happy knowing I can be there to support her!

One of my friends is on crutches right now because of an accident that happened to her during break. Every time I get a chance, I make sure to ask her if she needs any help, and if she says no, I remind her that if she ever needs any help she can ask me. I think she appreciates me doing this for her because not many people volunteer to help since everybody rushes to class as fast as they can to avoid the rush of hallway-traffic. It feels good to be such a help to someone who needs it!

when I started middle school last year, I had to leave all of my autistic friends because at my school (Norup international) they don't have anyone to help them, and I wanted to still be able to see them so me and one of my autistic friends and his mom all made a program so that all of their friends could come see them every other week and do and do fun activities.

This is a story when I was just randomly enchanted. I was just sitting on the sofa watching t.v. and my sister just randomly said "your funny" at a random moment . At that moment I felt so special and I just could not stop smiling. I am just so happy and when I remember that moment I just SMILE. So Thanks so much!

some random acts of enchantment that i did today at school are i helped out a girl in my class who didn't understand the notes we were taking by explaining and telling her which parts to write, i let a girl use my ipad with me when hers wasn't working so she could complete the schoolwork

some random acts of enchantment that i did today at school are i helped out a girl in my class who didn't understand the notes we were taking by explaining and telling her which parts to write, i let a girl use my ipad with me when hers wasn't working so she could complete the schoolwork, at lunch, i sat with a lot of girls who i am not that close friends with, because i wanted to be great friends with them, and one girl didn't have anyone to sit with so i let her sit next to me, and i still made sure to squeeze in my other friends, and i helped out my friend who has a fanpage on instagram, by liking and commenting on all of her posts because they were super cute, and she wasn't getting very many likes and she felt that people hated her account!😊

another random act of enchantment i did is when some people were talking about a kid in our grade behind his back, saying things like 'he's the stupidest kid in the grade, he's so ugly, i hope he moves to a different school, i'm gonna punch him so hard,' and much more rude things about him that i don't want to mention. he is always nice to me and never did anything to the people talking about him, they only found him annoying, so i took action and stood up for him, even though he wasn't there. i told them he never did anything bad to them and he is not stupid, and is very nice to me and all of them. it made me feel good to stand up for him, because it can stop them from saying rude things to him, which they've done before which could hurt his feelings. if he knew, i know he would be very happy and grateful!

It makes me upset when I accomplish something important to me, and I don't feel like it was good enough. As a result, all throughout the week I have been congratulating everybody on their accomplishments: getting into college, receiving a job, getting a reward, or even trying a new hair style (that counts too)! I love seeing other people smile and this definitely does the trick!

my random act of enchantment is one time at lunch, my friend had by accident, thrown away her retainer. So, my friend and I spent a long time after lunch to go looking through the trash cans looking for her retainer. When we couldn't find it, my friend and I saw she was getting upset, so we tried our best to comfort her and make her feel better. Even though she felt good after we explained to her it was an accident and that everything would be okay, I felt like I had been a good friend to her and that made me feel good about myself.

I was out to eat with a friend. A lady was about to make her way to her table when she dropped her purse on the ground with all of her belongings spilling out. My friend and I quickly got out of our seats to help her clean everything up and put everything back in her purse.

my latest random act of enchantment is that i made cards for my teachers for teacher appreciation week that have their name and drawings of objects that represent her subject on the front, and a kind note on the inside, along with a special message for some of them, like my science teacher who is about to have a baby! this makes me feel happy because i am very thankful for my teachers, because they help me learn, and hopefully it will make them feel very happy too, when i give them their cards tomorrow!

Story: Yesterday, at the skating party for school, I saw that my little sister was struggling remembering how to skate. I decided to go help her, and by the end of the night, she was skating so much faster. It was so nice to watch her get better and to help her!

My random act of kindness occurred when I helped a friend who was struggling in math. She was retaking an algebra 2 class and was struggling so one day after school I texted her and asked if she needed any tutoring. I took time out of my day that Saturday and went over to her house. We studied for a test that was coming up in her class. With my help she told me she did better on that algebra test and was on the road to passing the class. After hearing her say that I felt extremely happy knowing that I helped someone in need. It's nice to know that just little things like helping someone study for a test can bring peace and happiness for both the person receiving the help and the person giving it.

Story: We are all practicing for the talent show at school, and I saw my older siblings getting frustrated trying to learn all of their moves. To help, I decided to tell them to take a break and made them giggle. When they started to practice again, they were in a great mood!

I noticed that the house was a little bit messy, and I knew my parents would ask us all to clean up, so I went ahead and cleaned the kitchen and put the dishes away all by myself, so that my siblings could keep playing their games.

I hurt my leg really badly, and my sister Hannah helped me ice and rest it. She has been helping me get anything I need so that I don't have to walk on it. It really helps me a lot, and I never even have to ask her for help.

My younger sister Haley helped me clean up my mess that I accidentally made. I was walking to the sink to rinse out my cereal bowl, and I slipped and it went everywhere! Haley got right up and cleaned it before I could say anything. She also offered to help me up and asked if I was okay. That was very nice of her!

Friday I was jumping on a trampoline. I fell and strained my foot in 4 places. I now have crutches and a cast. My friends made me pillows for my crutches. They also keep checking in on me. I'm really lucky to have my friends with me through this difficult time😊

In sewing class, moms came in to help us. At the end of our unit, our teacher asked us who wanted to make a card for one of the helpers. No one in my class said they would do it. So, I told the teacher I would make it! I spent a lot of time on the card to make it look good, and I can't wait to give it to the helper. She helped me a lot during this project and making her a card was just right to give back the kindness.

Today at lunch, I saw a girl sitting alone eating her food. Nobody was around her so I went up to her and asked her if she would like to join my table. She smiled really big and joined us. Now she is going to continuously sit by my firends and I. :)

One of my friends has come to me lately for help. Lately he has been sad and down on himself but I text him and make sure he is alright. I try my best to cheer him up and reassure him that he will always have someone to count on, and that if he ever needs anything I will be here for him. If I see someone who is upset or I know one of my friends is feeling down I always try my best to see what exactly is wrong and try to help in any way I can. Even if it's just being goofy to make them smile.

The other day when I was in New York this man fell in the middle of the street and me and my friend helped him get up and blocked traffic till he was ok.

A girl today was being criticized for her looks. I personally think she is beautiful and the other girl was jealous. I gave her a speech about how beautiful she is inside and out and there are always going to be people to bring you down.

No matter where I am I like when everyone is happy. if i see that someone is not happy i go and make them happy. no matter what it takes i do it because i would like to also be treated like that. so i treat people how i want to be treated. its important to me because it affects me if people are not happy because everyone should be happy and have someone on their side, and it bothers me if someone is sad because no one should feel that way. my goal in life is that everyone feels good about themeselves and is happy!💗

Today, my oldest sister took me to grab some dinner, and we paid for the police officer's meal since he was in line behind us! The workers thought it was so great, and we heard one saying that it 'made her heart melt.' We hope it made his day & that he has a good night at work. :)

Story: Today one of my friends was really upset about the way one of her friends was treating her and so I was talking to her and letting her vent to me and giving her advice on how to help the situation and hopefully things will get resolved soon.

Story: My random act of enchantment is that currently my brother is getting married. And everytime one of my siblings gets married, I like to do something special for them at the party, whether it's singing or just saying a simple speech. This year, I wanted to surprise my brother and his fiancé with a song I had picked out. But then I thought about it and I thought, why don't I let my brother think of the of a song for me to sing to his fiancé. It made me very happy knowing that my brother was able to be a part of this and that I was able to include my brother. I was extremely excited about the song he would choose and the meaning behind it.

Story: Hi, my name is Julia and I randomly enchant people. Everyday on the bus to school, i tell my friends something inspirational. I try to tell them to always keep their head up and focus on good things in life. Also, whenever my friends are feeling down I always try to help and sort things out. I listen very carefully and pay attention to the words they are speaking. Another thing I did is during lunch at school I usually go and play a game with this boy who doesn't have many friends. It makes him happy and it makes me happy too. I enjoy helping others and I think everyone should enchant someone every single day.

When I was in middle school I was involved in a program called LINK. It's where we join a special needs class and you get to help the kids. Or, you go to class with them and help them if they are struggling. While I participated in this program I became good friends with the kids I worked with. I saw them grow throughout the year getting better with their writing and communication (I helped with their English class). It was a very enchanting experience. To add to that, people in middle school think its so funny and cool to be rude to special needs kids and to push them around. I often saw this happen in the hallway and would step in to stop whatever was going on and I would walk with them the rest of the way to their class. By being in the LINK program I was able to make a change and it helped me to become a more enchanting person.

The way that I randomly enchanted somebody was that, there was a homeless guy outside of Starbucks in Royal Oak and he had a sign saying that he would love any amount of money he can get just to make a living. I didn't have any money and my mom was with me so she said I can and instead of giving him money Denver I didn't have any I just tried to talk to him and start a conversation. I did and he said once I left that it was better then any amount of money he's every gotten. It got me very happy that in a way I helped him

today, there was a kid who i could tell felt neglected, because i saw him trying to talk to everyone but they wouldn't answer, so when he came up to me, even though i was having a conversation with my friend, i stopped to talk to him, because she knew how he felt too. then, i tried to engage a conversation later on when he had nobody to talk to. a few days ago, i also worked with him, because he wanted a partner and no one else wanted to be his. it made him really happy and that made me happy!😊

I am really close with a special needs girl and we are such good friends. she came with us on the field trip and i was so excited! mr.gianic who is our assistant pricipal asked if she could be in my group and i said of corse! I sat with her on the bus ride there and we talked and had fun together. then on the field trip i caught a tee shirt that they were passing out, and i gave it to her teacher for her. it made me happy to do something nice. even if you do one thing nice you can change someones emotions around and make them happy!

There was a rumor about my friend going around the grade saying she was telling people not to be this girl and I knew it wasn't true so I went up to the girl who started the rumor and told her to stop spreading it when she didn't I told a teacher

At my school, some of my friends wanted to go to a movie but when I heard that they weren't including another kid. After the class I went up to the kid who was not being included and I told him what they were doing, and asked if me and him wanted to go to the movie instead of going with the people who didn't want him there.

This week I wrote emails to my teachers telling them how grateful I was for there work because I feel that teachers are under appreciated!

This week is teacher appreciation week at my school, which means we appreciate our teachers for all the work and skills they have taught us. My friends and I made cupcakes for our teachers and gave them some of there favorite candies and drinks (pop) and put them in these really nice gift bags. It makes me feel very good because being a teacher is hard work! I hope my teachers really appreciate it!! It makes my day seeing all of my teachers happy 😊❤️ Thank you for doing this, it's amazing! 😘

Story: My brother is ending 5th grade and he asked me what classes he should take next year, even thought I was busy I took time and sat with him and explained him what all the classes are about and what you do. By the end he knew about every class and he was looking forward to it.

Another act of enchantment I have done is that it was my friend on my sports team birthday , I've only known her since the beginning of the season. When we arrived at our game I gave her the present we got her she was so happy and gave me a hug I felt good I had thought about her.

Story: hi! i am so sorry i have been lacking on entering these, but another random act of enchantment I did was that I was really sleepy and about to go to bed, but my friend was so confused on the homework and didn't even have the book we needed so I stayed up and helped her by sending her pictures of the pages and stayed on FaceTime while she figured out the theories and gave her any help she needed!

Last week at school, a 3rd grader dropped her books in the middle of the hallway. The halls were crowded with 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th graders changing classes. When I saw this young 3rd grader struggle to pick up her books, I ran over and helped her. She looked shocked at first but then smiled and said "thank you so much". It felt really good to help her out. I was in a good mood all day after I helped her. (Bella Vaughan- Birmingham Covington school ambassador. )

Okay so it is my first year of middle school and last year my group of friend told each other that we would never fight or anything like that. Well that didn't happen so 2 out of the 5 girls were best friends ever since they can remember, the are in advanced math and language arts. Another girl is in extra help of math and language arts, and we were all in a group chat together and the 2 besties were making fun of her for being in those classes I tried to tell and remind them about last years talk but then they just ignored me too. So then they moved to a separate table at lunch and the 2 made up rumors about us. We took it the councilor she called the 2 girls parents and now we are staying away from them.

The other day I was with my grandma for Mother's Day. I really wanted to stay with her but she had to go to visit my great grandpa. My great grandma had passed away recently and we were going to celebrate Mother's Day with her. I wanted to stay with her but I didn't want to visit. I decided to visit my great grandpa and went out to dinner with him and kept him company. I never really liked to visit my great grandpa but I realized you have to think positive and not negitive when you are doing something you don't want to do. I liked visiting my great grandpa and I hope I can do it again soon. When I left I had a smile on my face and he had a smile on his.

today, I was randomly enchanted. I was on the bus and trying to text my friends without others reading them, so I had my phone turned to the side. some boys thought that since my camera was turned towards them, I was just taking photos of them, so they yelled at me so I showed them my camera roll which was not of them but they didn't care and started taking photos of me which made me upset. then, a girl who hasn't even spoke to me stood up for me by saying I probably just was typing something no one could see (which was correct) and they should not do that. it made me very happy, because she was friends with them and not me and she could tell it made me sad and self conscious.

A few days ago, our whole grade took a field trip to 4 religious places of worship to learn about different religions. At one of the institutes, the girls were asked to cover their hair with a headscarf when we entered the prayer room. One special needs girl needed help getting her headscarf on, but no one was listening to her when she'd ask them. Finally, I saw her asking for help and I walked over to her and asked if she wanted me to put it on. She said yes, and so I did it for her and then said that she looked beautiful in it. I think she definitely felt happy that I had complimented her, and it was worth it because she did look very pretty, and I was happy I could help!

At lunch at my school we can choose where we want to sit and today we were aloud to sit outside but there was only one seat left so I let someone else have it and sat inside with the teachers and a few other kids

Story:

From Elise S at BCS: A friend of mine found a baby bird on the ground at school and was so upset she missed her bus. I helped her move the bird into a tree, build a new nest for it and will help her care for it as necessary for it to survive.

Story: Yesterday my sister an I were fighting over something I recently got, she wanted it but it was mine. she got sad she didn't get it, so this morning I got it from my backpack and put in on her backpack. My mom told me that in the morning she was so happy I gave it to her.

I went t the Friendship Circle over the summer to volunteer. Here's how a girl there helped me. I changed the names. Raina is the most patient person I know. Since her legs are paralyzed, she is unable to move herself most of the time and has to wait for others to push her. Once when we were traveling on the bus, she had to wait for someone to buckle her into the seat and once everyone gets off of the bus she has to wait for us all to get off and then wait for someone to lift her off the chair, buckle her into the chair, and wheel her into the building. One day we went to Pump it Up, a place which has a ton of bounce houses. She can't move her legs, so she can't play on the bounce houses with the slides and obstacles, she can only sit in the classic bounce house. She patiently waited there, kids occasionally coming in to provide her with some entertainment. Not only did she wait there, but she always had a smile on her face. She made everyone feel better when a kid was growing difficult. I remember when Jack started crying and thrashing around, the counselors were making sure all the kids stayed calm. Raina hadn't eaten her food yet and there were no people help her eat because they were calming down Jack. Raina did not complain. Or whine. She was waiting. She had to wait for everything. Through Raina's example, I learned to be more patient and to not complain. Raina has amazing perseverance. She has to persevere through so many simple problems. She does everything with a huge smile on her face and her smile is one of those smiles that literally light up the room. Raina is unable to go to the bathroom by herself and she has to rely on others. This may seem insignificant, but it's a hard problem to deal with because it's a lengthy process just to use the bathroom. Raina also cannot talk. She can make noises, but they usually aren't identifiable. Raina has to deal with people never quite being sure what she wants them to do and not understanding what her ideas are. I don't know what I would do without being able to express myself to words. One time, Raina had been talking, but her talking suddenly became quicker and soon turned into small yells, she had just wanted to go to the bathroom. Everyday Raina has to deal with small problems like these and she has amazing perseverance. Raina inspired me whether it was her incredible patience or her perseverance. Raina taught me to do everything with a smile on my face and be forever appreciative for being born with all my limbs working and being able to talk. I volunteered to help kids like Raina, but Raina ended up helping me much more than I could ever help her.

Story: Recently one of my friends has been having a tough time. I offered my help to him and he just came over and we talked. It's funny how the smallest things can make someone happy such as talking for a few minutes and having a good laugh.

Today one of my friends needed someone to hold his wallet for him so I volunteered. As we were getting ready to leave I realized I forgot to give it to him. We walked back as fast as possible to find him and give it to him instead of waiting to give it back some other time.

Today, my mom and I were walking back from Birmingham with my dog and brothers and we came upon a wounded bird. It looked like it was bleeding but we knew what would happen if we touched it. We stood there for minutes thinking about what we could do to help it considering calling the non emergency police office or even bringing it home. We came to the conclusion that we would sprint home and bring it bread and a box to sleep in. We ran as fast as we could and when we came back the bird was gone. What I did may not have turned out perfectly but instead of leaving the bird stranded alone unable to move, we tried to help it.

I want to say that what you are doing is amazing. I have made a promise to myself to always treat people with kindness and never make anyone to feel left out. Just last week my mom and I had to cut ties with friends we've had for 6-7 years. We were so close at one time but lately my two friends who are sisters kept calling me names while we would play. They kept telling me that I'm aneroxic and I don't eat because I'm too skinny and called me a tooth pick and a twig over and over again. My mom would tell me to forgive them because they are a year and two years younger than I am. They tried to blame me for something I didn't do and my mom talked to other people who were there and they all said I never said the hurtful things my actual friends accused me of. My mom tried talking to their mom but no matter what I did and she didn't care what the other witnesses said. My mom and I came to the decision that it was just time to walk away and not be friends anymore. The things my friends would say to me made me feel really bad about myself like something was wrong with me. My random acts of enchantment will be to always be kind and never hurt anyone's feelings. I go to Chippewa Valley Schools in Macomb, Michigan and would love to bring awareness of the wonderful thing your doing to our schools. Thank you for listening to my story

Today I was walking in the halls and someone's locker was decorated for their birthday. So I decided to say happy birthday! I didn't even know the person but I thought saying happy birthday would be a nice thing to do!!❤️ Thank you!!! - Dani Gingras

Story: The other day I went out to eat with my friend. As we were standing in line a woman asked if she could cut in front of us as long as we weren't in a hurry. We said yes and let her go ahead of us. It turns out that she had an illness and she really needed that iced tea. It was very worth letting her go in front of us.

My twin brother got hit by a car when he was riding his bike. He hurt his leg and chin really badly, so my sisters and I all helped him get around at school and at home. I brought his homework from school on days he missed and helped him with stuff that we learned in school while he was out. I know he really appreciated it, and I felt great being able to help him so much.

Yesterday, I asked my neighbor if she needed help with her lawn and garden. She is an elderly lady, but she is always so sweet to me and my siblings. She just had to put her dog down, so I have been trying to be extra helpful to her to try to cheer her up.

We have relatives staying with us, so I have been trying to help my mom keep up with the house. I know she is busy, so my sister and I sorted the laundry to make it easier for her. She was so happy to see we did it without being asked. Now the laundry will be easier and quicker for her!

I was at a service and there was a special needs kid there and no one was talking with him and he was sitting alone. So I went up to him and I asked him if I could sit next to him and he started telling be about his transformers.

One morning i went to the gerocerys store with my sister. When were all checked out and about to get back into the car, I saw an old couple trying to get large pack of drinks into their car. I walked over and asked if they needed any help. The old lady asked if i would put the drinks in her car right side up. i succeeded with her request and they drove away with smiles.

I have been taking time in order to write freshmen notes. These freshmen have all struck my eyes in some way and I believe that they will be the ones to spread positivity throughout school when I go onto college next year. I told them how much they mean to me and how much they have struck me and hearing back from them I have been their role models makes it bittersweet because their brightness and positivity helped me as much as I helped them.

Today I was cleaning out my binders and folders because I only have 1 more day of school left! When I was done, I was thinking about all the kids that can't afford school supplies. I felt really bad. So since my binders and folders were in good shape I went up to my teacher and said I feel bad for kids who can't afford school supplies next year - I would like to give you some of my old school supplies from this year that are in good shape and you can give kids who can't afford them for next year. Other kids starting giving there binders to my teacher too. I thought it was very nice that other kids decided to give there supplies to my teacher too. I want to start a program for kids who can't afford school supplies next year! Thank you for your time!! - Dani Gingras

Today I was at Kroger and we were checking out and the cashier gives me a lollipop and a balloon for free! I thought it was so nice!! She made my day :) Just thought I should share a story of how someone enchanted me today! Xoxo Dani ❤️

I was on a walk with my friend and we passed through a park in our neighborhood. We saw some younger kids who were sitting on the swings but struggling to get higher up, so we offered to push them on the swings. We stayed there for a little while, and the kids were smiling and laughing by the time we left.

Hi Marla…today I did a photoshoot with you and it was so much fun. I enchanted my friend Jessica. We were at camp and it was time to go to bed. When Jessica crawled into her bed she found a daddy long legs running on the top shelf of the shelves. Jessica hates spiders. I could tell she was really scared. I offered to trade beds for a night to make her feel confertable. I could tell she was really happy I offered to do that. Love, Shayna

When I was at a Bar Mitzvah, I was playing basketball with my dad and I noticed a kid sitting and eating alone. I felt really awful that he was alone, so I went and asked if I could sit with him. He said I didn't have to, but it felt right to me, so I did. He was telling me that he was having a pretty hard time, and so I talked to him and told him that everything would be ok. We played one on one together and had a really good time!

One day at school me and my friends were sitting and eating lunch. We noticed that there was a little boy in third grade sitting and eating all alone. He looked very sad and even though we didn't know him and he was in third grade, we went and sat with him. He shared with us that he didn't have many friends so we came up with a solution. We invited one of the boys to sit with us and started up a conversation with them. They quickly became friends and the boy thanked us. I think it made his day!

My random act of enchantment that i was involved in was yesterday when i was at my grandmas house her next door neighbor who is a widow, invited me into her home to show me a piece of artwork my grandma had given her. Although the artwork was beautiful it was more special listening to her stories. She then began to walk me through her house telling me about all the other artwork she had in her home and the adventures her and her late husband took when buying these items. At first i kept looking at my watch thinking this is taking a very long time, but then i realized it wasn't about the time but it was about listening to someone's life stories who wanted to share her memories with me. When i left her home i said to myself the next time i see her again i will be excited to listen to her wonderful stories again because I'm sure she has a lot more to share.

today when I was at camp we went swimming and had to take a test to swim in the deep end. one of my best friends sophie, didn't pass the test and I did. I decided to stay in the shallow end and stay with her.

Story: I complimented random people who I didn't know on their outfits and let other people go in front of me in line at the store. Also I held the door open for lots of people who were walking in and out.
